Soha Ali Khan Commemorates Her Father Mansoor Ali Khan with a Heartfelt Tribute

Mumbai, Jan 5 (NationPress) Actress Soha Ali Khan recently paid a touching tribute to her late father, the legendary cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, on his 84th birth anniversary.

Soha, accompanied by her actor husband Kunal Kemmu and their daughter Inaaya, came together to offer prayers in memory of the iconic cricketer. On Sunday morning, the trio held a quiet and emotional ceremony to honor Pataudi’s legacy. Soha shared the intimate moment on Instagram, providing a glimpse into the heartfelt tribute.

In a poignant gesture, Inaaya composed a touching letter to her grandfather. The letter, which conveyed birthday wishes and a happy New Year, beautifully connected Inaaya with Pataudi’s memory. The images shared by Soha depicted the family in prayer together.

Recently, Saif Ali Khan’s sister Saba Pataudi also shared an emotional post on social media to celebrate her parents’ wedding anniversary, reminiscing about the cherished moments her mother, Sharmila Tagore, had with her husband. She fondly recalled how every morning she would remind Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi of their anniversary, to which he would humorously pretend to forget. Yet, he would always sneak away later to surprise Sharmila with flowers, making the occasion even more special.

Saba expressed, “27th December. When Harry met Sally… When His Highness met Sharmila Tagore :))… eyes met and the rest is history. Love you both! Happy Anniversary. Missing you, Abba. I would wake up every morning, go down to wish them, reminding Abba as per our tradition, it was their anniversary! He’d wink at me and say, is it today?? Lol… and then go wish Amma. Secretly, he would have (or maybe) arranged some flowers for her! I wish those days were still here… but life moves on and memories reside in our hearts forever.”

For those who might not know, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, affectionately known as ‘Tiger’ for his exceptional cricketing talent, was born on January 5, 1941. He played for the Indian national cricket team for 12 years, making his debut in 1961 and participating in his final Test match in 1975. He passed away at the age of 70 in Delhi.
